I am trying to export a very large iMovie file, I set my computer up over night to export it in 1080p and when I wake up it is no where to be found. I look in the trash, on my external hard drive in the movies folder and cannot find it. Does anyone have any idea where it might be stored?
Thanks
Mike
iMovie '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
iMovie files are stored in User > Movies > iMovie Events and iMovie Projects etc.
There are several ways to get there:
In Finder, click on Go at the top of your screen, then from the left pane select your User Name or Home.
Scroll down to find a folder called Movies and double click on it.
All iMovie files are stored there - events, projects etc.
Best,
Hi Mike,
If you exported your 1080p movie using Share>Media Browser, the exported file will be located in your movie project's package contents folder.
In your User/Movies/iMovie Projects folder, locate your project. Right-click (or Control-click) on the project name then select Show Package Contents from the pop up menu. In the Package Contents you will see a folder named Movies - your exported movie will be in that Movies folder. It will be a .mov file with the format H.264.

Been there, done that.
Go to Find in the File dropdown or use Command F
Type the file name or even part of it.
Select Movies.
It should be found there.
Enjoy the movie

Where is my exported iMovie?
